Peptide
TB-500
SaveA synthetic fragment of thymosin beta-4, a naturally occurring 43-amino-acid peptide involved in cell migration, angiogenesis, and wound healing.
Quick verdict
Widely used in veterinary medicine (racehorses). Human evidence is largely anecdotal. Preclinical wound-healing and cardiac-repair data are promising.
Evidence score
A rough internal score reflecting quantity, quality, and consistency of human evidence. Not a clinical recommendation.
What the research shows
Extensive preclinical data on wound healing, cardiac repair, and neuroplasticity. Veterinary use is common. Human clinical trials are sparse but some are underway.
Benefits
- Promotes cell migration and angiogenesis preclinically
- Cardiac repair effects in animal models
- Anti-inflammatory properties documented in vitro
Dosage notes
Community protocols: 2–5 mg subcutaneously twice weekly during loading, then weekly. Not clinically validated.
Side effects
- Injection-site reactions
- Headache
- Lethargy reported anecdotally
Who should be cautious
Not approved for human use. Gray-market products may contain partial sequences. Veterinary use does not validate human safety.
What this page cannot tell you
Strong preclinical rationale but near-zero published human trial data. Veterinary anecdotes are not substitutes for RCTs.
